| transport method where no energy required | passive transport |
| transport method where energy is required | active transport |
| particles distribute themselves evenly within a solution | diffusion |
| unassisted process where particles are small enough to pass through the membrane | simple diffusion |
| diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane | osmosis |
| provides passage for certain needed substances too large, or lipid insoluble | facilitated diffusion |
| movement of fluids from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area | filtration |
| homogeneous mixture of two or more components | solution |
| solution with high amounts of dissolved solutes | hytertonic solution |
| solution with low amount of dissolved solutes | hypotonic solution |
| dissolved particles are the same inside and outside the cell | isotonic solution |
| dissolving medium | solvent |
| active transport that transports amino acids, some sugars and ions | solute pumping |
| moves amount of material out of the cell | exocytosis |
| substances are engulfed by being enclosed in membranous vesicles | endocytosis |
| cell eating | phagocytosis |
| cell drinking | pinocytosis |
